Moving from child to adult epilepsy care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study helps teens with epilepsy make a smooth switch from a children's hospital to an adult hospital. It looks at how to improve this important transition so you don't miss any care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need to keep seeing an epilepsy doctor as part of your regular care.
- You are not just having an EEG test without an epilepsy diagnosis.
